Episode 261 Reunion
Knowing that the entanglement would anger Goldbeard, One-Eye gritted his teeth and begged: "Please have a large number of them, and let go of Commander Tangke." If Commander Donk returns, he will definitely go to you to plead guilty. When the time comes, whether you beat or scold, or break your hands and feet, it's up to you to deal with it. I beg you to spare his life, and not to ruin his future as a pirate. If Captain Donk is gone, this dragon pirate group will also be destroyed. On behalf of all the pirates of the Dragon Pirates, I beg on your knees! ”
Goldbeard's eyebrows were raised, his face was cloudy, and he exuded a cold aura like heavy snow, and the temperature of the hot air around him plummeted, making people feel cold.
One-Eye's words infected the rest of the pirate group, and everyone was unwilling to remain silent and pleaded for Donk.
"Please, don't kill our leader!"
"If you don't feel good, take my life to vent your anger!"
"I'm kowtowing to you! As long as you can agree to this request, I will have no problem even if I knock 10,000 times! ”
Moths fight fires, there are moths of determination, as long as the flame is bright and warm, it is worth sacrificing your life to pounce.
Unfortunately, these pleas for mercy not only did not move Goldbeard, but made the king of the sea angry. The wrath of the king, the blood flows thousands of miles!
"It's so noisy, silence me!"
The golden beard shouted angrily, his voice was like thunder outside the sky, all his beards were opened, and the majestic fighting spirit burst out in all directions, blowing everyone on the deck down, and even the one-eyed staggered and took a few steps back.
"Isn't what I just said clear enough? Or you miscellaneous brains are not easy to understand. If that's the case, I don't think you're even qualified to help me fulfill my agreement. Since you have never forgotten your leader, I will simply fulfill your dream, give you a death, and reunite you with the leader! ”
Under the shock of the Golden Beard, all the people of the Dragon Pirate Regiment were speechless, and fell to the ground, their faces full of fear. With Goldbeard's strength and status, these words are equivalent to a death sentence for the entire Evil Dragon Pirate Group!
"Your Excellency, please calm your anger!" A kneeling young elf on the deck stood up in a hurry, with a wooden staff behind him, a legal profession. It turned out to be the druid Carol recruited by Donk last time, he was poetic, fond of poetry and beautiful women, but acted quite calmly.
Carol walked up to Goldbeard in two steps, knelt down again without raising his head, and said quickly: "The one-eyed head was confused for a while, and he collided with the adult, and he looked at the adult Haihan. We won't bother you any longer, and you can wait quietly for Mr. Frankie to come out. As for the battle between the Sea Emperor and the Sky, we will do our best to complete it, so you don't need to worry. ”
One-eyed stood behind, and his heart was already bitter to the extreme. He has always wanted to die to save face, but today he knelt and begged for mercy, whispering, and bowing to the knees. It would be fine if this could save Donk, but now he has ended up being banned like this. He thought to himself: Donke, I've done my best, if you're still alive, go ashore and become a bandit in the future, don't go back to the sea, so that you can save a small life.
Goldbeard glanced Carol up and down, and said coldly, "It's kind of interesting." Unfortunately, I will not take back what I said. The king's order, it is difficult to recover the water! ”
As soon as the words fell, One-Eye and the others showed despair. Carol's lips trembled slightly, but she didn't dare to use words to hit Goldbeard again.
In the heart of the king, there is no room for a trace of displeasure. Goldbeard was about to execute One-Eyed and the others with his own hands, he shouted angrily, his muscles burst out, his body made a continuous explosion, he raised his big hand like a dragon's claw, and shook it hard, and the heavens and the earth changed color! The surrounding air currents surged, rapidly condensing together. The fighting qi released by the golden beard formed a layer of light, and the fighting qi that should have been void was now condensed into substance. The mask is golden and dazzling. The mask is quickly retracted, and when the mask is reduced to a certain range, One-Eye and the others will be squeezed to death.
This mask is the execution ground!
One-Eye was crushed to the ground by an invisible force, and he was out of breath, and his bones were about to be crushed, and the pain was excruciating. He took one last look at his brothers around him, and found that everyone was in the same difficult situation, and his vision became blurred, and Suo closed his eyes and waited for death.
The reticle folded halfway in an instant, making a flash of lightning. Only Goldbeard himself remained standing in the mask, showing the supreme power of the king. He pursed his lips tightly, and the lines of his face were as hard as if they had been cut by an axe.
One-Eyed and the others' lives hung by a thread, and at this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Be merciful!" My old friend, if you still miss my friendship, please spare them. ”
Goldbeard's iron body was shocked, how quickly he reacted, he instantly cut off his strength, and instead waved his hand, easily shattering the light mask. The light mask exploded violently, making a loud bang, and the cold energy scattered and rushed in all directions, causing the surrounding sea to be shocked.
As soon as the light mask shattered, One-Eye felt light, he struggled to get up, and found that he was okay, and some people even vomited blood, and they were crushed and suffered internal injuries. He looked ahead, and there stood an ethereal undead on the gangway. The undead remained the same as when he was young, still handsome, and was the original owner of the Sky.
"Franky. You're finally out. ”
There are very few people in this world who can make the dignified Golden Beard treat him with such a peaceful tone, and the undead Frankie is one of them.
"It's dark, but it's my morning." Frankie glanced up, the sky was dark, and he pleaded lightly, "It was these people who took the risk to go to Snake Cave Island to bring the Sky to the sky that had been hidden for many years. I'm grateful to these people and hope you'll let them go. ”
"If it's you pleading, no problem." Even if the golden beard agreed, the previous sharp momentum had already dissipated. The speed at which the king changes his face is comparable to that of a flip book.
Hearing this, One-Eye breathed a sigh of relief, this time he had finally saved the Evil Dragon Pirate Group. He remembered Donk again, and hurriedly threw a color at Frankie.
Franky then begged: "And that boy named Donk, who has maintained the Sky very well, and fought a few battles beautifully, showing the world the majestic and high-spirited demeanor of the Sky. For his sake, I have to ask for a favor for him. ”
"Well, I'll pardon him with him." Goldbeard happily agreed, he glanced at everyone a few times, frowned, and said, "You bastards, stand down." I'm going to have a good talk with my old friend, you're too much of an eyesore here. ”
One-Eye and the others supported each other, as if they were retreating bravely from the rapids, and they all got off the boat in a moment, and no one dared to disobey the order. One-eyed was depressed, with a strained face, looking at the deck of the Sky from afar. From such a distance, the sound of the golden beard striking a bell can still be heard clearly. Goldbeard and Frankie are talking about their youth experiences, and because the dead have no memory, Goldbeard himself is telling.
For everyone, the experiences of youth are a precious memory.
One-Eye wasn't interested in Goldbeard's experience and didn't bother to listen. Neither he nor the people around him dared to make a sound, so they could only remain silent and stand there. Some pirates with internal injuries had to endure the pain. One-eyed was thinking wildly, feeling glad that Tang Ke had saved his life for a while, and feeling ashamed of his groveling just now, his mood was extremely complicated, and it was a mess. By the time he came to his senses, it was already dark.
Goldbeard's conversation with Frankie ended, and the pirate governor stepped down the gangway with starlight and light, each step as if to make the earth fall.
The members of the Dragon Pirates once again knelt down on one knee and sent Goldbeard away.
One-eyed lowered his head, and his face was extremely ugly.
Before leaving, Goldbeard stood still in front of One-Eye and said, "Boy, let me tell you about the rules of the battle in Fengyue Jiu. ”
One-eyed could not show the slightest dissatisfaction, and said respectfully: "Listen to me." ”
The duel was scheduled for the evening of that day, because it was in the evening that Frankie would come out and witness the battle with his own eyes. This old friend of mine is looking forward to this fight. When the time comes, you and I will each drive the Sea Emperor and the Sky to fight head-on, and the two sides must take the crosswind as the starting point to ensure absolute fairness. In addition, the two ships can only carry a maximum of five hundred people, and all of them must be ordinary people, and no more than second-order powerhouses are allowed. We are comparing the firepower of the ship, not the strength of the man, so it is strictly forbidden to engage in broadside battles. Naturally, I will not bully the small with the big and bombard the Sky. ”
One-eyed listened silently.
Goldbeard continued: "As for the victory or defeat, it can be judged by the following points, one is that the magic ship loses power, and the other is that all the people on board are dead. However, I also considered that the Sky was my friend's ship after all, and it would be inappropriate to destroy it for the sake of a duel. So I thought of another way to determine the winner, which was more gentle. We draw a one-yard square red dot on each side, bow, stern and sail of both ships, and the winner is to hit all the red dots of the enemy ship. In short, whether you sink or hit those red dots, it is a victory. ”
"Okay, I've written it all down." One-Eyed pressed his head even lower.
Goldbeard nodded, as if satisfied. "Let me remind you once again that I planned this battle to fulfill the promise I made back then, and at the same time to pay tribute to my friends. When you're fighting on your behalf, you have to do your best, and don't deliberately admit defeat in order to please me, you know? ”
"I understand below."
"Remember, you must bring out the full strength of the Sky. Otherwise, I won't spare you. ”
"I understand below." One-eyed said bitterly and repeated.
Only then did the golden beard stride away, with his head held high and his heroic posture proud. His red flannel cloak shook in the wind, casting a huge shadow on the ground. His travel, sitting and lying are all based on the standard of the imperial king, and there are still two columns of guards standing along the way, and the pomp is extremely large. It wasn't until he was gone that the Dragons got back on their feet.
One-eyed gazed deeply at the back of Goldbeard's cliff-like cliff, and said secretly in his heart: Tang Ke, how nice it would be if you could replace him!
The loyal pirates began to whisper their congratulations, all happy to save the captain's life.
With a calm face, One-Eyed walked into the harbor.
The pirates smiled stiffly, and someone asked, "Commander, where are you going?" ”
One-eyed didn't look back, waved his hand and said, "Let me be alone and quiet, you guys are optimistic about the boat at the dock, don't go wrong." I'll be at the 'Neve Tavern' and call me if there's anything. ”
Many of the pirates said that they wanted to accompany One-Eye, but they were all rejected by One-Eye. He walked alone on the night road, alone, and his steps were sluggish. He recalled today's pitiful appearance, and felt ashamed, it was really worse than death. He remembered the freedom of following Captain Cam, when the Purgatory sailed aimlessly on the seas, and there was no happiness. And today, in order to save Tang Ke's life, he had to bow his head and plead with other strong people, losing face.
Although he was in pain, he did not regret it, and even if he turned back time, he would still go to intercede for Donk. All he wanted now was a vicious glass of vodka and two sips that would surely make him feel so much better. If I had slept through the strength of alcohol, the humiliation and pain I had suffered today would have been greatly reduced.
The path from the wharf leads directly to the port, and the road is dirt and not paved with stones, but it is very dry and hard, but it is smooth. The road is lined with small houses, and strings of dried fish hang on the walls, giving off a not-so-pleasant smell of fish.
The port of Duel Island is small, and Neve's Tavern is already the largest in the area. One-Eye has been here twice during this period, and with vague memories, he sleepwalks all the way here, and he doesn't even remember who he met on the way. The tavern was noisy, and there were more than fifty people gathered in the front hall, some sitting around the table and some sitting in front of the bar.
One-eyed ordered vodka from the bartender in front of the bar, but didn't ask for the quality of the wine. The bartender observed his words and saw that the guest was not in a good mood today, so he didn't ask too much, and directly took a bottle with a moderate price and pushed it over with the wine glass. One-eye poured a large glass, poured a sip as if drinking water, and the transparent wine entered his throat, turning into a hot knife, tearing at his internal organs. He enjoyed the sensation of alcohol hitting the top of his head, and felt a lot more comfortable. He drank sullen alcohol alone, and all kinds of unhappiness were replaced by the chaos brought by alcohol. He wanted to get half drunk and go back to the boat for some sleep.
At this time, an eyeless fellow sat down with a wine glass.
"One-eyed, I've heard of you before." The man spoke, and his voice was hoarse, like a poisonous snake spitting out letters.
The one-eyed eye glanced at the person beside him with an unkind expression, although it was the first time he had met this person, he saw the identity of the person.
This man is about thirty years old, with a strong body, muscles that look very explosive, a cold and fierce appearance, a cold gaze, and a few scars on his face. The most distinctive feature of his body is the tattoo, which extends from his neck to all parts of his body, even covering the back of his hands. He is tattooed with a flower bush and a cobra, and the snake sticks out of the flowers, and the head of the snake is tattooed on the chest, and the mouth is wide open, showing its fangs, and the body of the snake is entrenched on the body. He wears open clothes and deliberately exposes the snake head tattoo on his chest. He seems to have a soft spot for snakes, and even the hilt of the sword at his waist is a snake head sculpture.
Snakeskin!
This particular tattoo coupled with the presence of the Goldenbeard Pirate Regiment, two elements directly pointed at this person, absolutely not wrong.
One-Eye had heard a little about this man.
Of course, the snakeskin is just a nickname, and this man has a very bad reputation, not only by merchants and navies, but also in the pirate circle. He is a fifth-order swordsman, and his skills are good, but he is as poisonous as a snake and scorpion, and he only values interests, and has betrayed his relatives and friends many times because of interests, and he has also done such a treacherous thing as killing the master in order to seize the master's sword. He is now the captain of a small fleet of the Goldenbeard Pirate Regiment, and he is usually said to be a fox and a tiger, and no one dares to provoke him, and he is very majestic.
One-eyed people are the most righteous, and naturally they are deeply disgusted with people like snakeskins.
"You must not have a good look in your eyes, don't you even see that I want to be quiet." One-eyed turned his head and drank to himself.
The snakeskin had no intention of leaving, he stretched out his calloused hand, tapped his forehead, and said in a strange voice, "Dude, I can see that you are not agreeing." What are you depressed about? Let me guess, is it because Donk is gone? ”
One-eyed heard that the snakeskin was looking for fault, he felt a little surprised, he had nothing to do with the snakeskin, why did the other party come to the door? He was in a bad mood and didn't want to provoke bad luck, so he said lightly: "I don't want to mention this matter now, so please find someone else to drink." If you're really bored, why don't you go find a fishing girl and open a bud or something? You are not welcome in this seat next to me. ”
The snakehide stared at One-Eye, his expression instantly cooled, and he said coldly, "Since you are so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush." ”
One-Eye lets the vodka swirl on his tongue, apparently ignoring it, but knowing that the snakeskin must have something to do.
"The success of your pirate group is all due to the blessing of Lord Goldbeard. If he hadn't spoken, those Imperial Navy and bounty hunters would have been targeting you a long time ago. It is said that you now have three magic ships, but one was lost by Donk, and there are two left, one is the Sky and one is Purgatory. Do you think you'll be able to keep these two ships without Goldbeard's protection? There is a saying that because of these two magic ships, you will cause big trouble. ”
One-eyed heard that something was wrong, knocked the wine glass on the table, raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
The snakehide looked at One-Eye with pride, raised his hand, and replied, "I'm giving you an analysis. Don't look at me like a mad dog, I'm coming to you today for your own good. Your pirate group will lose their protection when they complete this ship-to-ship duel. When the time comes, your pirate group will be finished. Haven't you planned for the future? ”
"I don't need to worry about you!"
"The ghost will worry for you, I feel sorry for those two magic boats, and I will feel sorry when I see those two magic ships fall into the hands of others." The snakeskin laughed sullenly.
One-eyed was furious, the other party's intention was obvious, he was actually threatening himself! In and out of those words, it seems that the Evil Dragon Pirate Group is a paper tiger that anyone can bully, and the purpose of saying this is, of course, ill-intentioned.
"Oops, are you scaring me? I'm so scared. If you're going to turn the other cheek, I'll be with you now. The snakehide pretended to say, not paying attention to the one-eyed at all.
One-eyed can't stand this kind of provocation, coupled with the effect of alcohol, and doing things is even more reckless. With a flash of lightning, he grabbed the barrel of the rifle he was carrying, and slammed the butt of his rifle into the snakehide beside him. Unfortunately, his rifle was too long to shoot at close range, so he had to force the snakeskin back first.
However, when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, it is a swordsman's specialty, and the gunner is far inferior. What's more, the strength of the snakeskin guest has reached the fifth order, and his speed and reflexes far exceed ordinary people, and he has a stable pressure and one eye.
One-eyed saw only a dark shadow flash, and the snakehider's hand was pressed against the butt of the gun, and he could not move any further. Before he could make a move, the unsheathed serpentine sword was already on his wrist. That means that if you move it again, you will lose your wrist!
The two of them moved quickly, and they didn't make too much noise, so they didn't alarm the guests and bartenders in the house.
At this moment, the battle had already been decided, and the snakeskin completely tore his face, and said leisurely: "Open your dog's ears and listen carefully, I'll give you this idiot an analysis of the situation in front of you." Your Donk Captain is gone, and this is a good opportunity for you. You and I both know what a shuttle current is, and the chances of him coming back are less than one percent. It's a good thing to hear that you're loyal to him, whether it's true or not, and at least you've kept the entire pirate group safe from losing any of their power. This duel between you and Lord Goldenbeard is not as simple as it seems. First of all, you have to lose, or you'll upset Goldbeard. Secondly, what do you think should be done after this duel? Do you pat your ass and leave? Don't be stupid, after the duel, you have to kneel on the ground like a in heat, and beg the Goldenbeard Lord to accept you and let you join the great Goldenbeard Pirates! ”
One-eyed was called like this by a dog, and he was extremely angry, as if a volcano had erupted, his whole face was congested and red, and his neck was angry like a dragon, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I. . . Want. Kill. Finish. You. ”
The snakehide snorted and raised his voice, "What? Am I not right? Are you really going to turn around and leave after the duel? Don't tease me, okay, all the pirates in the world have sharpened their heads and want to join the Goldenbeard Pirates! Once you've joined us, you don't have to go around robbing ships anymore, which is dangerous and you can't make much money. Our Goldenbeard Pirate Regiment dominates hundreds of territories and three major routes, and there is no need to bother to grab money, as long as we go to that station, those people will obediently send the money. As long as you join the Goldenbeard Pirates, you can live such a paradise life. ”
The Goldenbeard Pirate Regiment is indeed powerful, but no matter how good other people's Pirate Regiment is, One-Eyed is not uncommon!
"You're underestimating the Dragons and Pirates. Even if we give up everything, we won't betray Donk! ”
"Shut up, let me finish it for you. What I want to talk about next is no longer an analysis of the situation, but an order that cannot be violated! After this duel, you immediately beg Goldbeard-sama to take over the dragon pirates, remember to be sincere, shed some tears, and so on. When this is done, I will ask Lord Goldenbeard to give me your power. When you're under my wing, I'll still put you in charge of the Purgatory, and you'll have to do the other good. It will definitely give you a lucrative port. ”
The snakeskin looked at One-Eye with a very disdainful look, as if he thought he was in control.
And so it is, does One-Eyed have a choice? If they don't agree now, after this duel between the two ships, the dragon pirate group will lose the protection of the Golden Beard, and the situation will become quite worrying. If the Serpentskin had cleaned up the dragon pirates with Goldbeard's fleet at that time, the dragon pirates would have lost.
"Let me think about it......" One-Eye made a thoughtful expression, and his tense body slackened.
The snakeskin sneered, his eyes even more disdainful.
But at this moment, the expression of the one-eyed eye changed suddenly, and he suddenly jumped backwards, widened the distance, and quickly took off the magic rifle, and aimed the muzzle of the black hole at the snakeskin.
It would rather be broken than broken, and One-Eye believes that Tang Ke will definitely support him in doing so. There are broken dragon pirate groups, and there are no evil dragon pirate groups that steal their lives. One-Eye has been bullied enough today, and it has completely exploded, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he decided to kill the snakeskin first.
"Bump!"
A tyrannical gunshot shook the tavern slightly, and dust fell from the roof of the shed. The guests in the room screamed, and they all stood up in an uproar, and in the blink of an eye, most of them fled. The bartender and the shopkeeper hid behind the bar and shouted loudly for the two of them not to do anything in the house.
One-eyed is still inferior to man, and the rabbit's shot failed to hit.
The snakeskin stood intact on the side of the chair, glanced at the bullet holes in the wall behind him, turned his head with a smile, and sneered, "I really don't know how to lift!" ”
One-eyed secretly scolded himself for being greedy, because of the effect of alcohol, the accuracy and speed were affected. He pulled the trigger again, but the snakeskin dodged before he could move his fingers. Another shot missed, and he was left with only three bullets that could be fired instantaneously. Other guns are too cumbersome to reload, and the time it takes to reload can kill a dozen times in one eye.
The snakeskin guest's body was smooth, and with strange footwork, he approached One-Eye, pulled out his long sword, and swung a blow with the side of the sword, slapping One-eye's shoulder, and a softer sword aura was attached to the sword body, which was very different from the sharp sword aura.
One-Eye is the appointed candidate to complete the duel between the two ships, and the snakeskin is naturally jealous and does not dare to kill him, but just wants to teach him a small lesson.
The sword qi was coming, and One-Eye only felt that the side of his face was scraped painfully, and he dodged to dodge, intending to roll away on the spot. But the sword qi followed like a shadow, and it turned around and slammed into one-eyed's back, causing him severe pain, and his body fell to the ground, embarrassed.
"Haha, with your little ability, do you still want to try to keep the two magic ships? What I just said is for your good! If your brain is half as smart as a pig-beast, you should say yes immediately. The snakeskin man carried his sword and gloated.
A fifth-order swordsman can flexibly control the sword qi, blending the sword qi into various shapes and surnames, and his strength is by no means something that one-eyed can compete with. Reluctantly, One-Eye slapped the ground and sprang up, turning his gun on the snakeskin again.
The snakeskin man dodged with ease, raised his sword, and directly slapped One-Eye with his sword energy, so that One-Eye almost fainted.
Stimulated by anger, One-Eye became more and more courageous, and since the other party did not have a killer, he went on to entangle himself frantically, constantly aiming his gun at the snakehide. However, even if he shot with the arc he had just practiced, he couldn't do anything to the snakeskin.
The snakeskin had had enough, ran out of patience, and with a heavy blow, knocked One-Eye to the ground, and asked, "You mad dog, is there any end?" ”
One-Eye was lying on the ground panting, his cheeks were swollen, and his body and arms were red and swollen, and he was in great pain. Although he was beaten so much, his body was not cut, which also showed the snakeskin's control over the sword qi. Knowing that he was invincible, he stood up again and raised his gun in a leisurely manner.
"Damn, if I don't give you some color, you can't be honest!" The snakeskin man glared at him, and he was also ruthless, and raised his sword, and the surname of the sword qi changed accordingly, becoming enough to sharpen iron like clay!
One-eyed aimed tremblingly, his consciousness was a little blurred, and there was only one resolute thought left, that is, to shoot the snakehide!
The clash of swords and spears is imminent. But there is no suspense about the outcome of the game, and the snakeskin has the absolute upper hand.
"One-eyed, you've lost, stand down." A gentle voice rang out.
One-eyed feels familiar, but who is it? He already had the answer, but he couldn't believe it. He put down his gun in a daze, and looked sideways, and the figure of the speaker was like a glimpse of a dream, and he couldn't see it really. He really felt like he was dreaming, maybe because he had drunk too much, or maybe because he had been beaten too badly.
"Donk......" one-eyed dream murmured.
"Good brother, it's really hard for you, leave the rest to me." Donk pressed One-Eye's shoulder in reassurance, and strode forward, looking at the snakeskin with eyes like a cave in ice. He drew his twin swords and stood in the middle of it, like a mountain that could not fall, and his momentum was majestic.
The one-eyed heart that had been hanging for more than three months was relieved, and he smiled with relief. It's really Donk! Moreover, Donk looks more reliable than before, exuding the aura of a strong man.
Confused by the sudden change, the snakeskin glanced up and down at the Oriental man who was stepping sideways, and said, "You are Donk?" ”
Donk snorted, too lazy to speak, and pointed the long knife at the opposite door.
"Swordsman Tang Ke, in my personal name, I would like to challenge you!"
